>In November, I got fed up and said screw it, I’m installing Linux. Since that article was published, I have dealt with one minor catastrophe after another. None of that has anything to do with Linux, mind you. It just meant I didn’t install it on my desktop until Sunday evening. My goal here is to see how far I can get using Linux as my main OS without spending a ton of time futzing with it — or even much time researching beforehand. I am not looking for more high-maintenance hobbies at this stage. I want to see if Linux is a wingable alternative to Microsoft’s increasingly annoying OS.

Modern Linux is far more friendly than it used to be. My father (almost 80) used it every day for his regular tasks (email, web browsing, Utoob) before hardware failure forced him to get a new PC.

It is very good for seniors because they are a lot less likely to fuck it up.

For what most people do day-to-day they don't need any specific OS. Linux works great for that. They are using it already, they just don't know it.
